-
HDC can be used as an immunohistochemical marker for the detection of immature neoplastic mast cells in patients with mast cell-proliferative disorders
drug development
HDC is a potential target to attenuate histamine production in certain pathological states using structure-based inhibitors, design, synthesis, and test of potentially membrane-permeable pyridoxyl-substrate conjugates as inhibitors for human HDC and modeling of an active site for hHDC, which is compatible with the experimental data, overview
